Wastewater Containment
CASE STUDY
Engineered for Performance. Built for Confidence
From treatment lagoons to sludge impoundments, wastewater environments demand rugged, flexible, and chemically resistant containment systems. E Squared’s geomembranes—fabricated from PVC, EIA, and LLDPE—are engineered to meet and exceed the most rigorous performance requirements in industrial, municipal, and environmental wastewater infrastructure. Designed for efficiency, all membranes can be prefabricated into large panels or fabricated directly in the field, with foldable construction that streamlines handling, transport, and installation.
Tailored Solutions for Complex Wastewater Applications
Wastewater containment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Systems must endure chemical exposure, shifting subgrades, UV radiation, microbial attack, and long operational lifespans. E Squared offers versatile solutions that address these challenges across a range of applications, including:
Lagoons
Evaporation ponds
Baffle curtains
Equalization basins
Sludge impoundments
Dewatering basins
Storage tank liners and replacements
Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) systems
